Dang....dang......daaaanngggg....

Today i got to shoot a Wilson custom 1911 for the very first time..... DANG!!!!!

7 yards at the indoor range.... i didn't have my glasses....eyesight all fuzzy today...and yet i put all 10 shots from the extended mag inside of the second circle.....5 of them inside the innermost circle and 5 in the next best circle. DANG!!!!

On sunday i went shoothing with a friend and did horrible....but then we were shooting at closer to 20 yards...so maybe....i dunno.....but dang....those high end custom 1911s can SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT!!!!

Obviously i need to figure out a way to get the $2800+ necessary to buy one of those.....

I bought the bottom of the line KIA the first year it was available.
I ABUSED that car.
At 130,000 miles I traded it in. I had to replace the battery, CV joints, and front brake pads during that time. I had the oil changed 8, maybe 10 times.
It ran like a watch when I traded it. My new/6 year old version is closing in on 40,000 miles. The oil has been changed 3 times.and tires are due.

LMAO that was funny, But in all seriousness since your Honda is givin you fits it might be a consideration. But as far as 1911's go even though a Wilson is a dmn good shooter is it really worth spending over 2500 on. Not to me. I'd rather get somthin that shoots just as good for 1/4 of the price. Right now for 2800 it better have a twin sister, 6 hot friends, know how to cook, willin to be freaky, and be able to clean the rust off a 75 Chevy truck bumper form a Northern Michigan junk yard with one inhailed breath.

Thats what "i thought" until i shot one. Try shooting one and you will view it differently. Its not just the accuracy either. The recoil seems different? Quicker somehow...like its cycling faster. And it didnt kick the brass back in my face either.
The first thought that poped into my head was ditching both the kimbers, the dan wesson and whatever else i could to get one of these......

My next car, should I live that long, will be a KIA.

So what's your next tag line gonna be?

GN/1911?

Well thats good to know. I was a little leery that kia might go broke in this economy. Now a days thats a consideration....

What's good about that at 7 yards? Seriously? I don't know that much about hand gun shooting and what's considered good, but it doesn't seem very accurate to me. But then I don't shoot semi's. My S&W 19-5 will kill golf balls consistently at 25 to 50 yards off hand with the right ammo and I could get every shot on an 8 inch paper plate at 100 yards with it before I got wacked in the head. I can't shoot consistently off hand now because I have tremors, but the gun still will for someone who can shoot. Dad was killing golf balls at 75 yards with my 13-3 every shot. He never missed. I took my 2nd Model of 1891 out to the range this month and was shooting quarter size 5 shot groups with it at 25 yards and it's over 100 years old!

Not only do i shake a little bit but i have the worst eyesight.... i'm glad they still let me drive!
Also have horrible debth perception.....

Okay. Gotcha. Sorry. I shake too. Lasik took care of the eyesight, except for having problems seeing the front sight. At least I can see the target now! Ha! Was just wondering if there was an inherent diference in accuracy between semi-autos and revolvers. Guess barrel length would have something to do with it too. Glad you found a gun you like. You really liked it over the Kimber and the Dan Wesson? My son's looking for a semi-auto 1911 style gun.

The Dan Wesson improves the more i shoot it. I think it will improve more yet?

I dont know Glock, I think it is becouse I never had much money that I dont care for those flashy high dollar toys. Its like comparing a Cadilliac to a Buick. You get the same ride in a Buick but it dont cost as much. I dont know man.
